Is the Casbah grimy enough for Britain's current "it" band, Fat White Family? We will definitely find out on Thursday as the band makes its first appearance in San Diego. Fat White Family have been described as depraved, vulgar, and even "diseased, drug-addled and utterly corrupt"; at the same time, theirs is one of the most anticipated tours of 2015. So go see for yourself if they can live up to their raunchy reputation. Meanwhile, Lord Huron play a sold-out show at the Observatory North Park with a free DJ set after the show at the Whistle Stop.
